Description
This report examines recent trends and underlying causes in labor market outcomes, to assess how the importance of skills for productive employment has evolved. It serves as a background paper to the findings and analyses that are reflected in Chapter 2 of the Growing United report (Bodewig, C., Ridao-Cano, C, 2018), on “The Future of Work”. It particularly reviews labor market outcomes and the demand and supply side factors that determine labor outcomes, with an emphasis on the extent to which technological change drives labor outcomes via its impact on the task content of jobs.
